I chose Marriott Residence as my Editor’s Pick because true seafront living along Gurney Drive is already a rare privilege in Penang, and when it is paired with Marriott’s global brand prestige and hospitality standards, it becomes more than just a residence — it becomes a statement of refined living. With limited coastal supply, established surrounding amenities, and consistent demand from high-net-worth buyers and expatriates, this is one of the few projects I believe combines lifestyle, status, and long-term resilience in a single address.
